Day 3 on site

Bricklaying 101 - we learnt to lay bricks, Cambodian style today.

For those of us that had never laid a brick, it gave us an appreciation of the skill - and the wonderful brickwork we see in Australia! Marie has decided that she may become a brickie.
We, with the skilled workers help,made great progress on the side walls, one a single skin of bricks, the other a single skin against the next door neighbour's single skin. At about 2000 a concrete beam is added, we did not quite get there.

We spread the large gravel to the rear sub-floor, and compacted it.
